In the stowage of deck cargo, "cribbing" is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) placed on deck to support the cargo.
Cribbing refers to the use of separation pieces or blocks of wood placed on the deck to support and stabilize the cargo being stowed. This helps to prevent the cargo from shifting during the voyage, which could lead to damage or even a hazardous situation. Cribbing is a critical component of proper deck cargo stowage and securement, as required by regulations for maintaining the stability and safety of the vessel.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of cribbing in deck cargo stowage. Option A refers to nets used to cover hatch openings, option B describes the securing of cylindrical cargo, and option D is about stowing baled cargo, which is a different technique.
